Tim,
We made these out of Ľ inch Aluminum. They are pretty heavy. Lightened them up with holes. They extend about 4 inches. My wife couldn’t keep het feet on the floor and move the pedals so we welded an extension on. No interference with the brakes. Working on a few modifications to allow easier mounting and better cosmetics but they work.

These are really crude and could be refined well with some effort. I painted them and have left them in almost all the time for I guess 1.5 years now. They don't interfere with the brakes but that's because I built them in such a way that they wouldn't. They basically only touch the pedal surface...not anything else.
I still have to pull them and drill some lightening holes some day, and maybe fill some gaps with wood putty for cosmetics.

Hi Alan,
That basically looks like what I did but I did it in wood. I haven't yet lightened them but i think done right they could be made fairly light. Would be interesting to use carbon fiber but actually i think being a little heavier is probably a good thing to some extent...at least on the bottom half below the bar. Mine remove with two bolts in only a minute or so. No interference with anything. I've left them on for a year or more now. I plan to spiffy them up a bit soon, and lighten them a little and maybe add anti-skid tape to the bottom lip. They do make it work ok for the wife...so I'm happy.

Yes keeping the wife happy is important.
Now I have to get her a seat cushion.

Please be careful with the rudder pedal extensions. Last year the aerobatic community lost Vicky Cruise in an accident in the World Aerobatic Championships. The cause of the accident was attributed to the rudder pedal extensions that were attached to a borrowed airplane. They apparently came loose and jammed the rudder hard over, and she did not recover. I know that everyone installing rudder pedal extensions are going to make sure that there will be no interference ..... I'm only offering this as a reminder.

I just did a little work on my pedal blocks this weekend:
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090503/index.html
I decided since I had nothing better to do, I'd pull them and drill
some holes in them, repaint them, put anti-skid on them, and
just in general freshen them up. I took some photos while
they are out, so you can better see how they were made. I
tweaked the write-up a little too. These were meant to be
a temporary, proof-of-concept thing, but they're working out
so good I decided to just leave them, even if they aren't
cosmetically perfect.
The total weight is something around 2.5lbs for the pair.
I could lighten them quite a bit more I'm sure, but I don't
think I'll even try. Mounting is a breeze, with the dowels
and big washers.

Tim,
Thanks for the update. Mine work fine but aren't that easy to mount. My next set will be lighter and have an easier mount.

Yeah, I would think that 1/8" aluminum could be fine, if it had
some good cross bracing internally. I don't see why it
wouldn't work.
I wasn't too worried about going with wood though...wood was
often touted as being an "ideal material" for airplanes because
it's light and strong...and in the case of these blocks, it
was just simple to work with. I would think that someone could
use balsa blocks and just coat them with glass, too, as
another option. The ability to drill dowels into it was
really the thing I liked the best.
For aluminum blocks, I'd think you could put some aluminum
cylinders that bolt on in place of where the dowels go, too.
I'm not sure how weight would compare, if made in a
more ideal way. I'm guessing I could probably cut the
weight of the wood ones down to 1.5lbs per pair if I tried,
but I'd need to start by using better wood, glued nice,
cut nice, and then route out the guts in a manner that
took out more material but kept some good structure. It
would turn it into a 8 hour project, whereas I did these
in maybe an hour. Still, it would be fun to play
with some day if I didn't have other things I
want to do first.

they are out, so you can better see how they were made. I
tweaked the write-up a little too. These were meant to be
a temporary, proof-of-concept thing, but they're working out
so good I decided to just leave them, even if they aren't
cosmetically perfect.
The total weight is something around 2.5lbs for the pair.
I could lighten them quite a bit more I'm sure, but I don't
think I'll even try. Mounting is a breeze, with the dowels
and big washers.

Tim,
I am finalizing design and fabrication of pedal systems for RV's. Extensions
look like an option I should consider.
I have a couple other product ideas I be offering soon.
